Country Studio with a View - near Raglan

The view was amazing, Cat and Toby where beautiful, and the place was a 10 out of 10

None

Location and the view was out of this world.

I should have bought some meat to do a grill as they have a nice bbq on terrace

Friendly host , stunning views, cozy by the fire

Nothing

I loved the location the most because of its rural setting, though my wife did get a bit dizzy on the winding road to get there. The views, however, were amazing. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by two goats across the fence. It is a very peaceful place indeed! My daughter and I also really enjoyed the fire pit, and we were so thankful to the hosts for providing us with free eggs.

Our stay started off perfectly, but we unfortunately experienced a major issue: there was no running water from 8:00 PM until we checked out the next morning because the water tank was empty and the pump was off. While the hosts were very apologetic, provided buckets of water, and even offered their own home for us to shower, we declined for privacy reasons. Unfortunately, the buckets weren't enough to easily flush the toilet or properly wash up, leaving us feeling sticky for the rest of our trip. Additionally, I highly recommend adding a heater to the living room for the winter months. The bedroom was the only warm space, and the bathroom was uncomfortably cold.
